unreels
Comes off spool
Unreels means to unwind from a reel, as with film, fishing line, or cable.
The word often appears figuratively for things that unfold or play out sequentially: The story unreels over three generations.
Events unreeled in slow motion.
The image is of something spooling out gradually, revealing itself as it goes.
