  "Guatemalan author Augusto Monterroso (All the Rest Is Silence, The Magic Word) wrote a one-sentence short story which is one of the shortest tales ever written. His story is a complete sentence with one dependent clause and one independent clause.
  Here is Monterroso’s short story “The Dinosaur”:

  When it woke up, the dinosaur was still there."
