I know I am a total nitpicker here, but I think there is such a thing as too short a sentence.
I can think of some really good examples of sentences consisting of “Me” or “No”. I can’t think of any good examples of sentences of one letter. Two seems to be the limit.
I’m trying to imagine people telling each other that and I can’t help but thinking it sounds like monkeys communicating. Something to do with a single syllable with no consonant as a simple command. A little monkey at that, given that it’s an ‘i’ not an ‘o’.

You are the murderer!
I?
Or, What is the correct article to use here?
‘A’.
And, if we want to just obliterate the category altogether without having to think explicitly of examples:
“What is an example of a sentence that is too short?”
″.”
walks away
Edit: Added a period, per wedrifid “request.” :)
You do realize that to the extent that is a sentence it excludes itself. Kind of the point...
(Should have a period after it if it is a sentence too.)
Not in English, but i means “go” (imperative) in Latin. :-)

Lemurs telling a human to get out of their space: eee! eee! eee~!
Lemures telling a human to get out of their space: i! i! i~!
(That’s why they’re called lemurs.)
