Sentence 12

His sentence: I cleaned up their tent and rolled up their hammocks-they all slept in hammocks.

From The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

The hyphen connects two independent clauses in which the second clause clarifies the first one.

My sentence: She quietly slid out her window and took off running, not stopping until she reached the hill-the friends always met at the top of the hill.
