...is the name of a new SK story in Harper's 9/12 issue. It's 5 pages long, and according to a commenter at Lilja's (where I first learned about this) it's about a man, his senile father and an incident that happens to them. The magazine is already out, at least to subscribers.

Here is the synopsis:

In Stephen King’s first story for Harper’s Magazine, a middle-aged man named Sanderson brings his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father to Applebee’s for their weekly lunch, where for three years they have ordered the same food and had the same conversation. Just as Sanderson despairs of finding any shred of the man who raised him, he’s saved from a brutal assault to find his father wielding a weapon procured in a moment of lucidity.

The story is set in San Antonio, Texas, which is a switch for King.
