Verb
unscroll (third-person singular simple present unscrolls, present participle unscrolling, simple past and past participle unscrolled)
To open or unfold progressively, as a scroll does.
To me, the writer's main job is to just make the story unscroll in such a way that the reader is snared - she's right there, seeing things happen and caring about them. And if you dedicate yourself to this job, the meanings more or less take care of themselves. That's the theory, anyway. George Saunders
