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.

Yes, you have it.

 

Left backing sound with small injuries (7)

 

Left -> L (abbr.)

backing [reversal indicator] sound [charade: noise] -> esion

with small -> s (abbr.)

l+esion+s

WHOLE DEFINITION

injuries = lesions

 

Over to you.
