“Knock on the window” {
Comes up with the error: There is a { on line 187 that does not have a matching }. Where should I put it?
Can you screen shot your script?? Maybe then we can find the error for you easier
NARRATOR
Maybe I should just show myself. I didn’t come here just to leave with nothing. You only live once, after all.

I froze in place, my eyes as large as saucers, my breath shaking in my chest. This guy must have affiliations, but with what?

It was the way he said it. He must have some people who are after him. It would explain the blood on his hands!
NARRATOR
Well there’s nothing I can do now. I was stupid enough to follow this psychopath home, so now I’ll be facing the consequences.
