TELL YOUR TRUE TALE: Wanna burrito? a prison tale

By Sam Quiñones, A Reporter’s Blog

A new story is up on my storytelling website, Tell Your True Tale.

Richard Gatica, serving three life prison terms, writes of the day he offered to make a burrito for a friend on a tier above him, and how he got it up there.

Check out Wanna Burrito? a prison tale up now.

It’s an amazing story, of the kind I love to post on the site.  Small, poignant moment. Great stuff!

If you have a story that you think might work, let me know. Write it and send it in. I don’t pay but I do edit.
