The use of capital letters is a way for the author to make sure the reader understands the importance of some specific thing that is not usually capitalized. The word “story” is an example. In the evening, Miig sometimes says it is “time for Story” (Location 302). This does not mean he is going to tell some random story, but indicates that he is going to tell the youngsters “the Story” of how they came to this point in their lives. The difference is that this specific story is an important part of their history
