Never turn around

I live in an apartment building in a moderately big city. I live on the top floor in a 5-story building, as most of the other ones around here are. My apartment has one bedroom with a fairley large living room with big windows out towards the street and the opposing. That building has a small parking lot up front, so it is not directly across from mine, which I kind of like because of the privacy.

Being a night owl, I like to stay up late with my laptop. Sometimes I peek out the window at the building across, looking for lit windows, wondering if anyone else out there is doing the graveyard shift. Last night, I wish I hadn't.

I usually sit with my laptop fa ing the windows. For the last couple of nights I had, in the corner of my eye, been seeing a sparley lit window in the building across and in it, some sort of movement. Las t night, my curiosity got the best of me, so I put my computer down and went over to the window tot check it out. Surely enough, you could see someone waving. I thought abulout it for a second, and went to get a prai if binoculars. After some searching I found a pair and went back to the window and put them to my eyes.

I located the window and got a better look at what was in it. It appeared to be a person, lit up by a candle. I couldn't make out the person's face, but hr was waving. At me apparently because after I had locked onto him with the binoculars he stopped waving for a second and then pointed at me. I felt a chill go down my spine. This was fucking creepy.

He pointed at me, and then made a circling motion with his finger. He kept doing this over and over until I realized he was signaling for me to turn around. I reacted out of instinct and quickly turned around as if I really were expecting something to lurk behind me. Nothing was there but darkness, obviously, so I chuckled to myself and turned back go the window with my binoculars only to find the window empty, except for the candle slowly fading out.

I jumped back and dropped the binoculars on the floor, the loud noise of impact spooking me even more. "What. The. Fuck?", I thought to myself as I went back to my computer. I put on someusic to calm me down, surfed around a bit more until I looked at the time and realized it was about to light out. I put my computer down and made my way through the small hallway that led to my bathroom. I noticed a flickering light underneath the door, my body froze. Even if I did forget to turn off the bathroom light, a light bulb could not produce that kind of lighting. I slowly walked up to the door, took a deep breath and lightly pushed the door open. I stepped inside and to my horror  I found a candle sitting on the sink, revealing a message scribbled on the mirror.
"NEVER TURN AROUND."
