    Default King describes a new story idea

    http://www.liljas-library.com/article.php?id=3906
    Most of the talk was about Doctor Sleep but King also talked about and idea he got while experiencing the traffic in Paris. The car he was riding in stopped for a traffic light and he was looking over at the people in the car next to him. So close but still they had no idea he was there. It was a totally different universe even though it was just a few feet away from him. He asked if we wanted to hear a story and the entire audience roared a ”YES” and King continued ”This is like pissing a good story out on the ground. Usually they're better if they just stay inside but I just love this concept.” and then he told us the idea.

    “So here's this guy who fly into La Guardia airport and his plane is late and he goes down to get his luggage and his luggage is of course the last one off the plane and the thing is he's coming to New York because although he's married he has a mistress and he told his wife his going to be home tomorrow but he's been detained on business. So he's all ready and gearing to go when he has all these things holding him back. So the plane is late, luggage is last, he goes out to the taxi, his at the end of the queue and he finally gets a cab and he goes into New York. As the cab pulls up next to another car he looks into it and sees a woman and a man sitting there and as he looks the man takes a razor out of his jacket and cuts the woman’s throat. Well, what does this guy do now? I don't know...”

    sounds very much like Christie's 4.50 from Paddington

    Here's another description (from King's visit at Ramstein Air Base):

    While sitting in a van last week on a congested street in Paris, his mind wandered: “What if there was a man sitting in a van or a taxi cab in a strange city and a bus pulled up. He looked into it and he saw a man and a woman and the man cut the woman’s throat. Now you could say, Steve, that idea’s really … weird, and I would agree with you, but there’s a story there, and when I get back home, I’m going to try and write it.”

    Default "That Bus Is Another World": New short story in August 2014 Esquire

    Perusing on EBay I see that someone listed a new story by Stephen King in the August issue of Esquire. Looks like it is called Nobody. What's the story? I didn't know this was coming.

    "Nobody" refers to the Cameron Diaz story, I would think.

    Actually, I think that you are right :
    - "nobody, page 50"
    - a new story from Stephen King, page 60

    4 available on ebay right now.
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Actually, this might be the story he talked about in Europe. The one where he was in a car and saw a person in the bus next to him and pictured them having their throat slit?

    I'll just wait for this to hit the newsstand and read at my local Barnes & Noble. Should be out this week I would think.

    Well it's the August issue and monthly issues usually are published during the first week or so of the previous month.
