Narrative

EE was making his routine rounds around the kiln when he felt something in his left eye. EE was wearing safety glasses so the object must have been blown in by the wind. A small speck was seen on his eye so, being it was night shift, he was sent to the hospital to have particle removed. The attending physician flushed out the eye and suggested he get some occular fluid.
