[super viewDidLoad];
jsonurl=[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.1040communications.net/sheeba/stepheni/iphone/stephen.json"];
jsonData=[[NSString alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:jsonurl];
jsonArray = [jsonData JSONValue]; 

items = [jsonArray objectForKey:@"items"];
for (NSDictionary *item in items )
{
    story = [NSMutableArray array];
    description1 = [NSMutableArray array];

The story and description1 should be declared before the loop starts.

This line should be outside the for loop

 story = [NSMutableArray array];

The NSMutableArray is being created for every item in your dictionary and hence you are getting the last value only. So you need to create the dictionary before you enter the for loop.
