down in the gutter life is slipping away
let me still exist in another place
running under cover of a helicopter blade"

HISTORY:
- born and raised in Rufield by a woman who wasn't all there
- his mother was a crack shot and taught him what she knew
- has fond memories of shooting out the neighbor's windows
- grew up as one of the bad kids in the neighborhood; he was largely an outcast
- his mother's obsession with her revolver led Merle to want it for himself as well
- he stole it one day and showed the kids, which got him cool points until he and a kid were fighting over who got to hold it. James ended up with a hole in his head. He did not die.
- nobody got along with Ira anymore, who was missing a few marbles after the incident. Merle and James became easy friends.
- Merle had a talent for drawing and a desire to go to an art school, but had no money, so he joined the army
- came back home with a leg injury – still limps to this day
- finished art school
- moved to California with his mother
- dropped her off at a nursing home when she was getting a bit harder to handle, visits her often enough
- lives in Blackwood with his dogs
