That's what many do, but there's some issues. Readers expect endless content. If you hint that you only have 1 or 2 books planned, they might be reticent to follow such a short story, and/or you will have no growth once you finish. If you then also want to self pub, KU has a requirement that your content must also not be provided for free, meaning you will have to 'stub' it from the website, absolutely killing any future growth. You will then depend on your previous readers liking your story so much so as to purchase it, giving it the required momentum on Amazon to not just be totally forgotten.
