look at the console, it shows a syntax error, you need to fix that

3

I cannot quite catch it

4

what do you see in the console?

5

this is what I see
When you call

displayStory("scary")

, the border color should be

#ee4b2b

. 3. When you call

displayStory("scary")

, the story displayed should be

"In the dark woods, a group of friends stumbled upon an old, abandoned cabin. They enter the cabin and awaken something malevolent that had been dormant for centuries."

.

without rinning the tests I see this:

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (39:0)

  37 | displayStory("scary");
  38 |
> 39 | }
     | ^
  40 |
  41 | // User Editable Region
  42 |

don’t you see that?
