A Novella by

 
 
Say you catch your flight to St. Louis and go to the motel where a certain fellow is staying. You go as instructed to Room 314, and you find a way to get the room's occupant to open the door, and it's the last time he'll ever make a mistake like that. The last time he'll do anything, really.

So you fly back to New York, congratulating yourself on a job well done, and the young woman who walks yur dog is there, with each of her toenails painted a different color. And you're admiring those rainbow toes, and one thing leads to another, and then you find out your boss made a mistake and sent you to the wrong room, where the wrong man made the mistake of opening the door.

Well, these things happen. But was it your fault? Did you do something wrong?

Ms, Ranbow Toes had the answer. Nobody made a mistake. There was no such thing as a mistake.

It was all karma...

"Keller's Karma" first appeared in the February 1995 issue of Playboy and was subsequently included in the first Keller episodic novel, Hit Man.
