You are confusing JAVA and JavaSCRIPT.

*LOOK* at the error message you are getting:

Code:

story.java:1: class, interface, or enum expected
var it = 0;
^

That is a JAVA error.

You can't use the keyword var in Java. You can't use document.write in Java.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND: Are you trying to write a Java program or a JavaScript program???

If it's JavaScript, then you can *NOT* try to send the code through a JAVA compiler.
