This is nothing to do with your problem, but surely you can reduce your
code size and story file size by approximately 50by writing it like
this:

"This is probably the tackiest thing you have ever bought,
but it was the only phone you could afford. The horrible
blue and yellow neon polka dots make you want to gag. The
hot-pink cord doesn't improve its image either. One end of
the cord is plugged into the telephone. The other end ";
if (officePhone.isActive = nil)
"lies slack on the carpet, just next to the phone jack by
the wall.";
else
"is plugged into the jack.";
