: Re: How can a portal be hidden for 5 years but found by children? I am writing a story in which two children, ages 12-14 years old, discover a portal to another dimension. The portal is roughly

Alternate entrance to a locked room.

The lolly shop has a back room, either the owner "lost the key years ago" (perhaps it was taken by the very person who created the portal) or the owner knows what is there and keeps it locked.

It has a tiny window onto a back-alley; one day during a storm the glass is cracked by hailstones, or there are bars but the kids bring a crowbar, stack some crates at night, and climb in. What 12 year old wouldn't want to break into a candy store?

You can vary anything. Maybe there is a chimney, coal chute, some animal dug under the wall.

Or...

The old man (store owner/postman/library keeper/lighthouse keeper) disappeared and the kids went to find/rescue him.

In this case the kids are trying to do good rather than mischief. Depends how you want their characters to be developed.

Maybe his disappearance had nothing to do with the portal but they find it anyway.
