Narrative

EE had just finished greasing one side of our main screen, he was on the ground, attempting to move the ladder to the other side of the screen when it got away from him. Instead of letting the ladder fall over he tried to ""save"" it. Hence he strained his back muscles trying to slow the ladders descent.
