No harm in putting it on Amazon for 99c. Just mark it carefully as a short story, give the word count, and you shouldn't get annoyed customers.

Or, put it on Smashwords as a freebie, and be very very patient, waiting for them to distribute it to Amazon.

BTW, for free content distribution, I like feedbooks.com.
Agreed on sheer luck, and agreed on feedbooks. For younger audiences, I think Wattpad is as good a place as any, and it has widespread distro on iPhones, iPods and iPads--has very viral potential, IMHO.
