Word with story or sister

I believe the answer is:

sob

(Other definitions for sob that I've seen before include "Expression of distress" , "Weep audibly" , "Weep heavily, wail" , "Contemptible person in North America briefly" , "Insulting expression, initially" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
