Fuck shit fuck aaaah

As we know from the movie, all of the "still lifes" we see in the backrooms are created by the backrooms themselves. It remembers parts of people, either directly or from memory, and will recreate them.

The main still lifes in the movie are Clarks Wife, the competing furniture store owner and wheelchair lamp guy. The only one who is the most sentient appears to be Clarks wife, as she runs away from the entity impersonating "Captian Clark". What if she was not replicated from Clarks memory, what if she was actually there in the backrooms at some point before he dragged his employees down there?(Wheelchair lamp guy, not sure what his deal is, maybe he was another unfortunate victim of Clark, a passer by or a customer who really wanted a lamp that Clark pushed through the wall.)

Its been established that Clark has been in the backrooms for months, hes explored and made maps of a lot of it. Its theorised hes made offerings to the "entity" in the form of living flesh in order to stay alive. What if he brought his wife, who left him because of his abrasive alcoholism, into the backrooms to feed the "entity" and it turned into what we know as Captain Clark because thats what she remembers of Clark.

Its not a still life, because it can get injured, its hostile and its not built like a still life, as they tend to be more human looking and not like a 6 foot gangly pirate monster. Its not remembering Clark because hes already there, already present. Its imitating something, and what it is imitating is his wifes memory of him. He worked so much, drank all the time and the only time she saw him was after hed been drinking. Explaining why his face is distorted, he hobbles and hes angry.
