Longing for Change: A Fifty-Word Story
Longing for Change
Tommy scrapes the wall. Dust sticks to his sweat.
“My back’s killing me.” He sighs.
He dreams of smoking cigars in his study, penning letters to friends all over the globe.
“The wall’s got to be done by Sunday. I’ll be back to work on Monday – we need the money”

Nice! You provide just enough detail to get us intrigued with the character and to want more... but not enough to give anything away. I'm dying to know who Tommy is talking to, and... just more about who he is and why he's scraping walls!
