Narrative

EE was operating a shuttle car when he felt an irritation in his right eye. When he stopped, he took off his glasses and gloves and rubbed his eye. He then flushed his eye with water. After his shift he went home and went to bed. When he woke to go to work his eye was still irritated and swollen.
