Narrative

EE was traveling down the 4B travel way when something got into left eye. The tiny object flew up off of the front of the hood of the ride EE was driving. EE finished the shift. The next day EE came in and reported that they had something in the eye and could not wash it out on their own. EE was sent to a doctor, who later removed the small particle from the eye.
