Stephen King likes to blow off his excess steam after finishing a novel by writing a short story. That's where everything in "Different Seasons" comes from. This particular novellete (I checked - at 8600 words it doesn't qualify as a novella) was leftover from a particularly difficult script. I wrote it out, submitted it to Analog, got rejected and put it in a drawer. I've toyed with putting it up on Kindle Singles. I could also serialize it I suppose.
