Matt Holland’s opening for a story

I like the name Tucker. A lot of good chances to make that sound really cool. It also works really well for a character who is socially awkward because he name kind of stutters, and as far as I can tell from the story, Tucker is a little socially awkward. He has no friends that are willing to move out with him? I guess that probably happens in small towns, though.
One detail that hit me hard was the fact that he is unable to save up making $300 a week. What is this guy doing with it? I want to read more just for the fact that he seems like a socially awkward guy who lives with his parents who somehow goes through almost $300 a week in a small town.
When you followed the line about 19 year-olds having apartments on part-time jobs with him being 22 and at home, I think there is an interesting cross in the close third. I don’t know at this point if it was intentional or not, but when this detail presents itself, it is almost as though he has betrayed himself and given away that being three years older is not the solution to his problems, as he has been telling himself. This is an interesting problem for the character and I am interested to see how he handles it.
