Maybe it's me not being a native speaker, but that seems okish?

It's not technically wrong but the super-short abrupt sentence format of "A. B. C."[0] is weird if you repeat it.

You can get away with it once or twice as a kind of rhetorical flourish but if you keep doing it, it starts to sound like a one-trick pony (or a clanker.)

(IMHO, obvs., I'm not the King of English.)

[0] e.g. "Three pinpoints of light. One photographic plate. Vanished within fifty minutes."
