The Iron Door

In the future humankind relies heavily on machines, when it all begins to fail they put their faith in a man called Vashto. Vashto braves through the "Iron Door" and confronts what the people of Earth think the problem is which is a saboteur. Vashto shoots said saboteur and leaves him for dead as he flees. The people of earth enter the door and learn the man that was shot was Karra the one who built the machines and had been running them. He explains in his dying breath that Vashto was from Saturn and it was they who stalled his work. As he die Karra thinks to himself that it was his fault for allowing people to rely so much on machines and that perhaps it's better they die out this way.

When he lifts his foot, there is the dime and he says "Without turning around, you must have eyes in the back of your head." The patrons become murderous in intent and pursue the frightened man out of the bar.
