I just had a horrific shock.

I frequently leave my computer as it is for a few minutes if running to go get something from another room. The computer is in my room and so the only person even likely to see the screen is my sister, who is not only a slasher but pretty unshockable.

So I just left my screen open on the NC17 fic I was reading while I went to collect my sister's sandals to put in our suitcase. My screensaver kicks in after a minute anyway.

Imagine my horror to return to find my father sitting at the computer.

He's typing away happily at his email and on hearing me enter says "Oh, sorry. My server's down. Hope this is okay."

I'm just having a heart attack on the other side of the room.

Then he sends the email, gets up and leaves. Doesn't say a word.

The page I had open is minimised in the bar. I'm hoping I had minimised it before leaving and that was that. But I'm pretty sure I left it open.

*blink*

And yeah, he just left without a word.

dear GOD, my greatest fear realized

you know, the worst thing is when they *did* see something and you know it, and they *don't* say anything to you about it. aaaahhhh

Well, that's exactly it. Did he not notice because it was just a page of text and he's used to seeing stories on my screen and not bothering to read them until I hand them to him? Or did he see and not say anything? And if so, why not? And am I going to have to keep my head down to avoid an explosion?

*eeep*
I'm a beetle, when something like that happens to me, I usually somehow bring it up and when it turns out that my parents have no idea what I'm talking about, I end up digging my own grave
and you can't really play the "but you shouldn't have been reading my private stuff" card because, yeah, lol
