Bummer! Did you prompt the user for the story (1)? I didn't see the first double underscored word prompted (2).

package com.teamtreehouse;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args)  {
        // write your code here\

        Prompter prompt = new Prompter();
        String story = prompt.readStory();

        Template tmpl = new Template(story);
        prompt.run(tmpl);

    }
}
