「人」與「牲畜」兩種處境的界線並非涇渭分明，而是經常飄忽來往、進出穿梭，範圍甚至就在同一人身上。任何小事，在壓力重重當代生活裡，就是深感自己宛如牲口、落入六道的開端。作者以五部劇作，分別透過資本主義消費生活、現代社會邊緣場景、死刑陪審團、大齡女子原生家庭、放棄進入天堂荒謬執念等，展示種種可能。〈大遊樂園 Live Long and Prosper〉｜本書唯一一部短篇劇本，表現資本主義下可能的生活模式及其限制，例如人與物間保持彼此消費與被消費關係，且無盡循環。〈沈默是今 Cut Out〉｜入圍2020年臺灣文學金典獎，以不同場景中被逼至極限，卻難以為自己發聲的六組人為主幹，串連不同視窗，呈現特殊視野下的社會全景。〈12 LOOP〉｜發想自美國經典電影《十二怒漢》（1957），但改以「隨機殺人犯是否應該處以死刑」為主題，架空時、地，所有陪審團背景皆選擇臺灣常見的職業與形象。〈四姊妹 Silent Sisterhood〉｜訴說中年大齡女子人生境遇，包括原生／自組家庭、健康、情感、童年創傷、世代差異等面向，同時也試圖透過劇情表現人生中面臨的問題有時並無法解決，但可以選擇是否承認它。〈再一步，天堂？！One Step to Heaven ?!〉｜改編自沙特經典劇作《無路可出》，在相同結構下把條件翻轉：三人都有機會可以進入天堂，但卻因對彼此的成見而明確拒絕，寧可待在不盡然但時而宛如地獄的人間。

However, it wasn't until ten years later that I began writing. “Who Is Battling for Earth—The Clash of Spiritual Warfare” is the first book of the “Messenger of Time and Space” series.I never knew that in another dimension, another time and space, Someone had been watching, observing, protecting, and silently loving me all along, guarding me secretly. My life, which was nothing but a speck of dust among the multitudes, like a drop of water in the ocean—ordinary and unremarkable—became legendary due to Someone's intervention.How our story began – one day my world collided with His, and at a certain point in time, He (God) crossed time
