This is not a sentence.

OK. Maybe we should tag it with "evil". :)

Why not?

One might not expect to hear this language much, but it's a decent sentence. One can imagine a conversation between two interrogators:

"Should I torture him a little more or let him go?"
"Prolong the agony."

Maybe you should add that dialogue, too. What do you think?

It's already linked to 852217 (a Turkish sentence), so I think I'm going to leave this sentence as is. If your question is whether that pair of sentences should be added as a separate "sentence", I would lean against it. If someone is confused, they can look at our comments.
