I was told that a story was told; a bell was tolled (counted the whatever); and the statute of limitations was tolled (time has run out). Don't know about you, but I have no intention of counting the words, lines and sentences in a story even if it does have a definite ending. I also can't imagine ringing the book's pages. That leaves the story was all told (out), IMHO.
