Sure. In a small town, there is a local hero who has done a lot of good for the community. But he has a dark secret from his past. The townspeople love him so much and consider all the good he does now. So they turn a blind eye to rumors about his past, effectively 'killing' the true story because they don't want to believe it and want to preserve the good image of their hero.
Yes. In a company, an employee who is very popular and helpful (the 'good' in the office) is suspected of stealing some small amounts of office supplies over time. However, because everyone likes him and he has a good rapport with his colleagues, they choose to ignore the evidence and not pursue the matter further. Thus, the true story of his actions is 'killed' by the positive perception of him.
In a school, a popular teacher is known for being kind and helpful to students. But there are whispers that she once gave unfair grades to some students based on personal biases. The school administration, seeing all the good she does in terms of student motivation and extracurricular activities (the 'good'), decides not to investigate thoroughly. This way, the true story about her unfair grading is pushed aside and 'killed'.
Sure. Once, I was on a long train ride. There was this old man sitting next to me. To pass the time, he told me a story about how he used to be a sailor. He talked about his adventures on the high seas, facing storms and seeing amazing sunsets. It was a great 'time to kill story' as it made the long journey more interesting.
Here's one. A man who is completely new to investing puts all his money into a random stock and the very next day, the stock price multiplies tenfold. In the real world of investing, there are so many risks and uncertainties that such instant and huge success is very unlikely. So it's a '2 good 2 be true story'.
Well, perhaps it implies that positive forces or good - natured intentions can sometimes have the effect of silencing a real account. Like when a community wants to uphold a positive image (the good) and in the process, a true but maybe unflattering story gets killed, not in a literal sense but not being allowed to spread.
Sure. A scientific research paper that presents a discovery in a very clear and well - organized way (good in paper) and the discovery is an actual, verified fact (true story). For instance, a paper on a new species discovery, where the details on the species' characteristics, habitat, etc. are neatly presented on paper and it's all based on real field research.
Sure. A diet plan could be 'good on paper true story'. On paper, it has all the right combinations of foods, calorie counts, and exercise routines. And it might be based on a true story of someone who actually lost weight following a similar regime.
Sure. A startup's business plan that shows high potential for growth with detailed market analysis, projected revenues, and a great product idea on paper. And it turns out that in real life, the startup actually achieved success following that plan. That's a 'good on paper true story'.
The word 'boring'. If a short story is constantly described as 'boring' within the text itself, it will make the reader lose interest immediately.
I don't have a specific '666 true story' at hand. But I can imagine a story where a person is constantly haunted by the number 666. For example, every time they look at the clock at night, it's 6:66 (am or pm). And then strange things start to happen around them, like objects moving on their own or hearing unexplained noises. They start to believe that the number 666 is some kind of omen or sign of something bad coming their way.
Sure. Maybe a small - town athlete had a 1 in 1000 chance of making it to the Olympics, but through sheer hard work and determination, they actually made it. That could be a '1000 to 1 true story'.
Sure. In a mystery novel, if at the end the detective says, 'I just guessed who the killer was without any evidence,' it would kill the novel. Mystery novels are all about the detective using clues to solve the case, and this line would make the whole plot seem pointless.
