Karma

       His phone rang right at five.  He looked at it but couldn’t bring himself to answer.  It had already been a very long day and he was tired. 

 

         As he headed for the door he could still hear it ringing.  Leave a message, he said to himself and went out to the parking lot and climbed into his truck to drive home.

 

Some say it is fate while others call it karma.  There are a few who suggest that like fate there is some master plan and nothing we do can alter the outcome.  The thing is, had he answered the phone - the timing of all other events related to him and those around him would have changed.  His position on the freeway would have been different and Blinivitche’s 3rd rule of causation would have not even come into question.

 

 

 

 

However - based on the fact that he had caller I.D. and knew it was his ex wife calling...

 

 

Let's call it Karma.
