Secrets and Lies.
In my book a man has a secret. If he told his secret, he would not only lose his job but also be thrown of his community or maybe even hung. He is a man of God and constantly feels burdened by this secret. He wants to be happy and be with the woman he loves and help raise his daughter, but if he communicates with either one of them then he will be punished by the community. When he finally confesses to the whole community his secret that Pearl is his daughter and he loves her mother, who have both been exiled, he dies right there infront of everyone from the stress he has carried with him. Is this possible?

I dont know if this is possible. I guess anything is possible, but shouldn't he feel better for letting his secret out not worse? I know that when I have a secret that is a big deal I feel so ashamed and I know that I need to confess. Once I feel comfortable enough to share, I feel relieved even if I get in trouble or it effects the way someone acts around me. It is like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I would assume it is that way for others too. Being killed because of stress makes sense though, it all adds up and can tear you down. I figured it would kill before you got the chance to get everything out?
