Hi,
I downloaded the program yesterday and spent hours working on what will be a submission for a job. This morning when I went to open it I was unable to. I had to use video capture to catch the pop-up error it gave me, as it disappeared almost immediately.
It didn't matter if I went in through the program or through the file, I kept getting the same error. "An Error Occurred While Opening Your Story". (See screenshot 2) When I tried to open it using the online version of the program, I got "Sorry, no stories could be found in this file". (See screenshot 3) When I tried using a converter suggested in the forums I got a Javascript error "No Twine 1 story data found". (See screenshot 1)
Now I saved this story multiple times, and the file itself says it's 17kb big, which is not much, but it isn't zero either. I also can not start a new story as when I open Twine I am not given any other options other than hide or quit. I am running Twine on a Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.5.
Please help.

Are you allowed to post the source file someplace, so it can be looked at?
Thanks!
I have attached a Twee version of your story project in case you need to re-create a new TWS version. The twee file was created by using the File > Export > Twee Source Code menu option while your story project was open.
Do the following to create a new TWS file version of your story project from the attached twee file:
a. Download the Wycome.twee file.
b. Open Twine 1.4.2
c. Select the File > New Story menu option to create a blank story project.
d. Select the File > Import > Twee Source Code.. menu item to open a Import Source Code dialog.
e. Select the Wycome.twee file and press the Open button.
(note: the button may have a different name, I don't have a mac)
I found an easier solution - as this one required me to use "file>new story" which is tragically not something the program would allow. Thank you for your help
a. Click on the File menu item, this causes a sub-menu to be shown.
b. Click on the New Story menu item on the sub-menu, this will cause a new story project to be created.
