Can you make the shortest sentence, that would be the first time written in English, ever?

Do it! (without the “just”)
Any single verb in the imperative form, that is, a command (such as “stop” or “speak”) is a complete sentence in one word. And I’d guess there aren’t any that are still waiting to be used.
^^ He did specify never used. I believed mine was never used – except perhaps in writing.
^^^ But he said “written.” And shortest.
Also I bet there are situations where someone realizes too late that they’ve done something fatal to themselves and that is all they have time to say. That happened to a nerdy type hgh school science genius kid who was carrying some dangerous chemical powder in one pocket and some sugar for a quick pop of enegy in another and he swallowed the wrong one at the water fountain. He ran into a classrom and shouted that he’d made a terrible mistake, and that did kill him. So that could happen.
“You’re FB post convinced me I was wrong!”
Someone’s already written “1” before. (“1” is short for such sentences as “The answer is 1.” Or “I” for “It is I.”)
So, no.

But I noticed several shivering. 8^(
