Yikes. It'd be helpful if you could post a better picture. That's pretty hard cursive to read even without a blurry
picture. Here's my best guess. A dash (-) means I couldn't read the word. A (?) means I'm not sure about the
proceeding word. I guessed on some words too.

Line 1: Let me tell you
Line 2: What I have learned : They stand on -
Line 3: feet and walk (?) up beside you with their -
Line 4: bodies. And then they slip their -
Line 5: lips into your ear so - you just hear the
Line 6: -. And then sip by sip, they siphon off your brain
Line 7: - down to 8 quarters brain matter
Line 8: 9 bottles in the window means 9 o'clock doesn't it?
Line 9: Did I misread your -, -?
Line 10: You never called - - - -. (maybe "an emergency session before"?)
Line 11: I don't mind, I'm just wondering what's bothering
Line 12: you so much you had to call me into the woods tonight (?)
Line 13: What is it?
Line 14: Tell me what's going on
Line 15: A headache - a man in your family lived past
Line 16: the age of 30, you did the right thing calling me
Line 17: But here you are.
Line 18: Go on. Do you trust me or what?

7- I'm
15- I have no idea. All I can think of that works is and, but there's a dot there so it looks like there's an i. It could be aid or ail, but those don't fit either. And I really think it ends in a t.

Oh, no I got it. It is ain't. As in, doesn't exist. So it should mean "There isn't a man in your family who's lived past the age of 30."

Does it help to point out that this is perfect English (except for 'threadline'), but it's also perfect nonsense?
