OneWord - so little time [fire]

"Fire!" called out the sergeant, but nothing happened. "Fire!" He cried out again, but once more the men just stood there, their fingers on the triggers, but they would not shoot. "Why do you not fire?" He asked.

One of the men finally spoke, "Sir, the men have decided that no matter what crimes the prisoner is convicted of, we will not execute her. She is the only thing of beauty that has ever entered this prison and we will not destroy that beauty."
