Note: Due to Amazon’s exclusivity rules for Kindle Vella, I cannot post any story samples on my site. But you can read the first three episodes of any Kindle Vella story for free by visiting its store page. To unlock the fourth episode and beyond, you’ll have to use “credits,” which you can buy in packs of 200, 525, 1100, or 1700 per respective tier. This averages to about $0.88 to $1.00 every 100 credits or 10,000 words.

Summer 1985, somewhere between L.A. and Seattle, a boy becomes a man.

Buck Star has spent much of his high school career getting bullied by rich kid, Chet Armstrong. So, graduation can’t come soon enough. But when Chet’s final act as bully is to steal Buck’s girlfriend away, Buck decides he’s had enough. He’s ready for payback, and with the help of karate master, Mr. Kabuki, Buck will get his revenge…by challenging Chet to a “business off,” where the loser has to sell his drink business to the winner and become the winner’s slave…er, employee. After all, it’s 1985, and karate’s out, but coffee’s in.
