230,853 PointsThere's a syntax error on line 10 of story.js, a quote mark is missing:
document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = sentence;
// ^
// this mark was missing

6,979 PointsCan you attach a screenshot of your code? A syntax error is usually caused by a missing enclosing parentheses, semi-colon, or something like that. It can be very easy to miss.
