ZX81 issue

So i am making a text adventure called the package and am having an issue with the screen not listing properly. i am using EightyOne and every time i list the screen i get a 5/13 message, despite the fact that i have completed 20-21 lines already, plus the alternate ending. https://s8.postimg.cc/woz...
