On the plus side, today's original piece is true, it's personal, and it qualifies as a genuine "found piece" as well :)
On the minus side, it's not a story, and it took 328 words :(

I Will
Not Meet You Halfway
There
are times when I let other people take responsibility for solving the problem I
attempt to deal with all of his/her and my concerns I am usually firm in
pursuing my goals I sometimes sacrifice my own wishes for the wishes of the
other person I consistently seek the other person’s help in working out a
solution I try to win my position I try to postpone the issue until I have had
some time to think it over I attempt to get all concerns and issues immediately
out in the open I make some effort to get my way I am firm in pursuing my goals
I attempt to get all concerns and issues immediately out in the open I
sometimes avoid taking positions that would create controversy I press to get
my points made I tell
him/her my ideas and ask him/her for his/hers I might try to soothe the other
person’s feelings and preserve our friendship I try to convince the other person
of the merits of my position I am usually firm in pursuing my goals
If it
makes the other person happy, I might let him/her maintain his/her views I try
to postpone the issue until I have had some time to think it over I attempt to
immediately work through our differences I always lean toward a direct
discussion of the problem I assert my wishes I am very often concerned with satisfying
all our wishes
If
his/her position seems very important to him/her, I would try to meet his/her
wishes I try to show him/her the logic and benefits of my position I am nearly
always concerned with satisfying all our wishes
If it
makes the other person happy, I might let him/her maintain his/her views I am
usually firm in pursuing my goals I feel that differences are not always worth
worrying about I always share the problem with the other person so that we can
work it out
