The Dilaudid binge
[…] the apartment's upscale TP's viewer on a recursive slo-mo loop of some creepy thing Fackelmann liked that was just serial shots of flames from brass lighters, kitchen-matches, pilot lights, birthday candles, votive candles, pillar candles, birch shavings, Bunsen burners, etc.
Context
The binge's presiding image: the only entertainment running is an explicitly "recursive slo-mo loop" of flames, playing over two nodding addicts for days. The loop-cartridge is Various Small Flames from JOI's filmography (p. 987) — the father's looping film watching over Gately's long fall.
