Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

I think you have it, domino. The other answer for version 2 would have been everyone. It all fits like a cappuccino in a cappuccino cup.

All the dead ones = every body

Not exclusively =  inclusively = everybody.

And yes the 8 letter one was everyone.
