Each prompt dialog box opens twice! HELP

Each prompt() dialog box opens twice. I followed some of the questions people have asked before, but it doesn't appear that the story.js source is repeated in the HTML file. HELP.

you have each prompt written twice, so it opens two each. when you put prompt('enter...') it prompts but does not store the input. on the following line you put var noun = prompt('enter...') it prompts again, but that input would be stored in the noun variable.
